Operation
Roundup, which began May 1 to accelerate the defeat of ISIS in the Middle
Euphrates River Valley and Iraq-Syria border region, has continued to gain
ground and remove terrorists from the battlefield through offensive
operations coupled with precision coalition strike support, officials said.

There were no reported strikes conducted in

On Sept. 4, coalition military forces
conducted two strikes consisting of five engagements against ISIS targets:

-- Near Makhmur, a strike destroyed two
ISIS-held buildings and damaged two ISIS-held buildings.

-- Near Kirkuk, a strike damaged three
ISIS-held buildings.

Part
of Operation Inherent Resolve

These strikes were conducted as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the operation to
destroy ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The destruction of ISIS targets in Iraq and
Syria also further limits the group's ability to project terror and conduct
external operations throughout the region and the rest of the world, task
force officials said.

A strike, as defined by the coalition, refers
to one or more kinetic engagements that occur in roughly the same geographic
location to produce a single or cumulative effect.

For example, task force officials explained,
a single aircraft delivering a single weapon against a lone ISIS vehicle is
one strike, but so is multiple aircraft delivering dozens of weapons against
a group of ISIS-held buildings and weapon systems in a compound, having the
cumulative effect of making that facility harder or impossible to use. Strike
assessments are based on initial reports and may be refined, officials said.

The
task force does not report the number or type of aircraft employed in a
strike, the number of munitions dropped in each strike, or the number of
individual munition impact points against a target.
